There are plans to improve the radio module. Atm, the radio db supports only one url pr radio channel. Since many url's in the db is dead, it would be great to allow multiple addresses to each channel, and automatically scan the next address if the given one is dead. The pMusic radio db is built from the info at radiosure.com, and it includes limitless numbers of url's. So, the challenge is not to find the url's, but to define a clever way to include this into pMusic._________________Stardust resources

Hi Zigbert I just had a look at your comparison and on the basis of your comments i gave Audacious a try (using some pets from an old Pizzasgood thread) on my Slacko derivative.

Interesting player but I saw an unusual pattern of cpu usage within htop. The attached pic shows three instances of Audacious which I cannot explain as only one gui was running. The total is up over 20% cpu usage which is quite different to your figures. Could your comparison figures have included only the cpu percentage of a single Audacious instance and are there always multiple processes running or is it likely I did something wrong?
cheers!

EDIT : I have also added a screenshot of pMusic playing my Music directory for comparison (older version of pMusic that I really like). Nice big fat gui but still lightweight on cpu.

I use the cpu-average bar to measure, so I think my test shows the correct value. I see you are using the winamp-clone gui that might gives another result. The version I tested ran the gtk-gui by default, so I tested that one._________________Stardust resources

There are for sure pros and cons when it comes to scanning at first run. I have tried to make it as discreet as possible. pMusic is built around the DB, so a scan is required to take advantage of the features in pMusic. But, of course not required to play audio - which is the main target.

One solution could be to offer a simple frontend without scanning. Focusing on a basic audioplayer without too many options and features. The downside would be the slow file-search._________________Stardust resources
